Dads Ultimate Protein Bar Recipe #380861
Our weight lifting boys were eating me out of house and home with energy and protein bars! So after trying 10 - 15 different recipes I combined what I liked and left out what I didnt...with a few twists. The recipe is very simple and versatile. Listed you will see Honey but using Maple Syrup is just as good. Use what ever nut and dried fruit you like. I also mix up chocolate versus Vanilla Soy protein. Hope you enjoy as much as we do.

32 min | 20 min prep
SERVES 20 , 20 bars
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups powdered milk
- 1/3 cup soy flour
- 1/3 cup wheat flour
- 4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten
- 5/8 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons ground flax seeds
- 1 cup unsalted natural-style peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 cup whole almond
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 4 egg whites
- 1/2 cup water (as needed)
- 8 ounces soy protein isolate
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl (we use a Kitchen Aid) and pulse to mix to a dough like consistency. Transfer mixture to a well buttered 9 x 12 pan. Because mixture is very sticky I wet my hands and roughly mold to the pan. I then place a sheet of cling wrap over the mixture and smooth it out. Remove the wrap and place in an oven at 350 degrees for 12 minutes, or until the sides just start to appear done. Allow to cool completly before removing from the pan. Cut into bars and enjoy!
- I ran the nutrition analysis through another program that picked up the few left out here and there are 23 grams of protein in each bar!
